Isaiah

Hartenstein

After coming off the bench in Thursday’s loss to the Timberwolves, Wallace and Hartenstein are in the starting lineup for Sunday’s matchup in Denver. Their moves into the lineup push Aaron Wiggins and Jaylin Williams to the bench. While Wiggins can still offer tangible fantasy value in his role, JayWill is worth leaving alone.

Thursday’s game was Hartenstein’s first since December 28, and he was used in a reserve role. While there weren’t any defensive stats, the 7-footer shot the ball well and was also productive as a rebounder. Jaylin Williams (5/4/1/1 with one three-pointer) remained in the starting lineup and played 27 minutes, but the roles will reverse eventually. The Thunder visit the Nuggets on Sunday in their final game of Week 15.

Thursday’s game will be Hartenstein’s first since December 28, with his return giving the Thunder another option in the front court. While usually a starter, iHart could be used in a reserve role in his first game back, depending on the restrictions he’s under. If Hartenstein starts, Jaylin Williams will head to the bench.

Hartenstein will miss his 16th consecutive game on Tuesday when the defending champs host the Pelicans and look to snap a two-game losing streak. Since his last appearance on December 28, the Thunder have gone 10-5. Hartenstein’s interior presence is missed, but while he remains out, Jaylin Williams and Chet Holmgren will likely continue to soak up the frontcourt minutes.

Hartenstein remains out, having last played on December 28. With Ajay Mitchell also out, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins are potential replacements in the starting lineup. Since Wiggins was not available, Joe received the nod in Friday’s loss to the Pacers, playing 30 minutes.

Still without a return timeline, Hartenstein has not appeared in a game since December 28. Aaron Wiggins could be tabbed to fill the void in the starting lineup on Friday, but he’s listed as questionable. Isaiah Joe and Kenrich Williams are potential alternatives, with the former offering higher fantasy upside.

Hartenstein has not appeared in a game since December 28, and it’s unknown when he’ll be healthy enough to return. Jaylin Williams entered the starting lineup for Monday’s win over the Cavaliers, due mainly to the matchup. Aaron Wiggins is a more secure streaming option while Hartenstein remains out.

Hartenstein is set to miss his 11th game in a row with a strained right soleus. Either Cason Wallace or Aaron Wiggins will start in his place while Wiggins is the preferred streaming option.

Hartenstein will miss a tenth consecutive game as he continues to deal with a strained right soleus. Cason Wallace or Aaron Wiggins should start in his place, with both starting Tuesday’s win over the Spurs since Luguentz Dort was also out.

Hartenstein is set to miss his ninth consecutive game with a strained right soleus. Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins are candidates to take his place in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Spurs. Wallace had three points in 26 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Heat while Wiggins had 11 points in 19 minutes off the bench.
